The document summarizes biochemical responses in plants during abiotic stress conditions. It discusses how abiotic stresses like drought, salinity and temperature fluctuations can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress. The plant defenses against ROS include antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and non-enzymatic compounds. Primary metabolites like proline and secondary metabolites play important roles in stress tolerance. The accumulation of stress proteins, amino acids and compatible solutes help plants adapt to stressful conditions.
IMPORTANT VARIETIES AND POST HARVEST QUALITY REQUIREMENTS OF GYPSOPHILA, CALL...Dr. M. Kumaresan Hort.
This document discusses the post-harvest quality requirements for three flowering plants: gypsophila, calla lily, and goldenrod. It provides information on important varieties for each plant and their characteristics. For gypsophila, it describes pre-treatments like STS that extend vase life and recommends storage at 0-1°C and 90% humidity. For calla lilies, it provides grading guidelines and advises harvesting when the spathe has opened. For goldenrod, it notes varieties that remain upright and lists post-harvest treatments like sucrose that extend vase life to 13 days.
1. Plants are exposed to various stresses from both human activities and natural causes that can increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant tissues.
2. ROS are generated during normal plant metabolic processes and photosynthesis, but stress situations increase their toxic production.
3. Plants have developed complex antioxidant defense systems using enzymatic and non-enzymatic components like ascorbate, glutathione, phenolics and antioxidant enzymes to scavenge ROS and protect against oxidative damage.

25. Propagation
• Propagation by Hard wood stem cuttings, Treating cuttings with IBA improves rooting
• Single bud cuttings also can be rooted by keeping the base of the cutting at a constant
temperature of 18-200C for 2-3 weeks
• While, using root stocks, grape can be propagated by chip budding or grafting.
Phylloxera resistant rootstocks
• Riparia Gloire- Selection from V. riparia
• St. George - Cultivar of V. rupestris
Nematode resistant rootstocks
• Dogride- cultivars of V. champin
• Salt creek - (V. solonis x V. paria)
26. Planting
• Pits can be of 1 m3 and filled with mixture of soil and manure
• Spacing varies according to the method of training and variety from 1.2 to 5.0 m x
2.5 to 6.6m
• The adopted spacing is 3 x 2 m for Muscat and 4 x 3 m for other varieties.
• Pandal system requires maximum spacing
• Best time for planting is Jan-Feb for rooted cuttings and October for un rooted
in situ planting
27. • Application of fertilizers should be done starting from 1 month after pruning only
as the roots will not be active till such time
• Foliar application of micronutrients specially Iron, Zinc, Boron, Manganese at
Pre-bloom and bloom stage were reported to improve quality and quantity of yield
Fertilizer
April Pruning October Pruning
Anab-e-Shahi 200:300:300kg / ha 300:200:700 kg/ha
Thompson Seedless 100:300:300 kg/ha 200:200:700 kg/ha
28. Training
• The training of the vine depends on two fundamental factors viz., the growth
characteristics of a variety and the influence of the local climate on the growth
of the variety
• The reduction, in yield may also be due to the failure to utilize properly the full
vigour of the vines
29. • Tamil Nadu, grape is trained in overhead arbours or Pendals system
• Overhead canopy is made of either thin bamboos (2 to 2.5 cm) or G.I. wires of different
thickness, (8 to16 in guage)
• Wires are spaced (30 x 45 cm) or 30 x 30 cm. apart forming a network
• Rooted cutting planted in the field reaches a height of 180 cm in about three months
• When the main stem is pinched at the top that is about 15 cm below bower
• Side shoots or main arms as they are allowed to reach the periphery of the pandal and they are
then tipped
• On these arms secondaries are produced and allowed to grow on the main arms at intervals of
45 cm from each other alternately in opposite directions
• These secondaries in turn give rise to 'tertiaries' on which canes develop and produce the
shoots carrying, bunches
Bower systems
34. Single-stake system
• A single shoot is allowed to develop from the vine of rooted cuttings and is
trained vertically by staking to a support.
• When this shoot reaches a height of 120 cm it is tipped and allowed to produce 4
to 5 secondary branches or canes, which are pruned after every bearing season.
• The main stem and the primary laterals are supported by a bamboo post
planted nearby.
36. • In this method, single shoot which is trained erect and tipped at a height of about 45 cm
• Only three shoots are allowed to grow from this point, all others being removed.
• Two shoots are trained horizontally and the remaining is trained vertically to a height of
another 60 cm.
• All the four horizontal arms are supported by bamboo poles or wire tied horizontally to posts
fixed at regular intervals of 3 metres.
• Primary laterals are allowed to develop from these four main arms at fairly regular
intervals and these are pruned to produce the crop every season
• For every fruiting cane, a renewal spur of 2 to3 buds is left
• Normally only four canes are allowed in the 4-cane kniffin system
• Under tropical conditions it is possible to have doubled the number
Four-arm kniffin system
40. Wire trellis system
• In this system two or three wires are strung in rows from vertical posts.
• A single stem is trained as far as the top of the wire 2.1 m and two arms are allowed to develop along
the wire on either side.
• The spurs on the fruit bearing shoots growing on these canes are seasonally pruned for fruit every
year
• This is called as Telephone Trellis system
• The horizontal cross is 120 to 150 cm wide
• The vines are trained along the wire in the direction of the row
• Steel angle iron and the cross arm is welded to the upright
• The disadvantage in this system is that there are no cross-supports to the rows to withstand strong
winds
• Cultivation and movement is limited tone direction.
42. Tatura trellis of ‘V’ / ‘Y’- trellis system
• This is suitable for vigorous vines
• Here, trellis are fixed in rows at a distance of 25 cm
• Length of ‘Y’ is 1.2 m
• Angle between two arms of ‘Y’ is 100 - 1100 and length of arm is 90 – 120 cm
• Here, two rows of cordon wires are developed with a gap of 50 cm
• Number of cordon can be one/two as per the choice of the grower and vigour of the vines
• It is better to provide two rows of cordon in vigorous vines
• Three foliage wires are run across the each sloping arm with a gap of 30 – 35 cm
• Rows of sloping arms are interconnected by a thick wire, across which run two more wires to
support the foliage
• Hence, under this system between the two rows, a narrow bower is formed
46. Pruning
• Grapevine is naturally a deciduous type woody climbing vine, regular annual
pruning is mandatory.
• During the process of pruning, almost 50 % of the shoots developed in a year are
removed
• Cane pruning is done retaining 3 – 4 buds/cane and is termed as fruiting canes.
The objectives of pruning are as follows
1. To reduce the amount of old wood in order to keep the vine within manageable
limits
2. To secure fruit bearing branches in predetermined places
3. To expose the fruiting branches to sufficient sunshine
4. To reduce the excessive vegetative growth
47. Following are some of the terminologies are
being used in grape cultivation
1. Cane: A well mature and ripened shoot of the past season
2. Shoot: Young growth of green stem of the current season, which bears the grape in
cluster
3. Spur: A portion of the cane or ripened shoot left behind on the plant after pruning.
4. Fruiting spur: A cane or well ripened shoot leaving 304 buds, producing a bunch
after pruning
5. Trunk: Main stem of the plant
6. Long spur: A ripe shoot, carrying more than five buds. Normally it is 25-30 cm long
with about 5-10 buds on it
7. Medium spur: It is a cane cut back keeping 3-5 buds
8. Spur: It is cane pruned to 1-2 buds
50. Pruning
(i) Single Pruning- Single cropping
• This system is prevalent in North India
• Since only one growing season is available, grapevines are pruned with the onset
of spring or during late winter (mostly January-February)
• Floral differentiation on the current shoots and the fruit set take place
simultaneously.
51. Double pruning – Single cropping
• This system is predominantly followed in Maharashtra, north interior Karnataka in case
of Thompson Seedless, and Andhra Pradesh on Thompson Seedless and Anab-e- Shahi grapes
• All the fruiting canes are pruned back to spurs retaining only one basal node. This is
called as back pruning or foundation pruning or summer pruning
• Buds on the shoots growing from these spurs differentiate into floral primordial and the
shoots mature in about five months
• These mature shoots are pruned for fruiting before the onset of winter (September-
October). This pruning is called forward pruning or fruit pruning or winter pruning
• All the mature shoots are subjected to fruit pruning. Thus, in this system of pruning, a cycle of
two pruning's resulting in one crop is practiced
Pruning
52. Double pruning – Double cropping
• This system is in Anab-e-shahi and Bangalore Blue grapes in the south interior
Karnataka and in Anab-e- Shahi, Bhokri and Gulabi in Tamil Nadu
• Mature shoots are pruned to canes of 7-8 buds after harvesting the crop in summer.
• The mature shoots arising from these 3-4 buds along spurs are pruned for fruiting
canes in the next winter.
• In the Madurai region and other parts of Tamil Nadu, pruning is done during
November-December for summer crop harvested during March-April, and during
May-June for the second crop harvested during August-September.
Pruning
53. Cluster and flower bud thinning
• Large bunches and uniform berry size, maintenance of 75 % crop load (80 – 90
bunches/vine) is important
• Thinning of flower clusters leaving 80 – 90 clusters per vine should be done just
after bunch emergence
• In varieties that produce compact bunches, thinning of flower buds leaving 100 –
120 flower buds per panicle is retained and the rest is removed
(a) Flower cluster ready for flower bud
thinning
(b) Brush used for thinning
(a) (b)
Most of the commercial grape varieties used
these day are self-pollinated
54. • Nipping is done at terminal buds at 12-15 node stage
• Cluster or berry thinning: GA3 @ 50 ppm at calyptras stage
• Pruning time north India: December to January
• Pruning time in Tamil Nadu: December to January and May to June
• Dormancy breaking chemical :Dormex
• Bud breaking in North India: hydrogen cyanamide (HCN) 1.5%
• Bud breaking in Tamil Nadu: Thiourea @ 4%
Special operations
55. Growth regulators
• Spraying with CCC at 500ppm at five leaf stage after back pruning increases
fruitfulness
• 22-25 days after pruning spray with GA3 at 10ppm will elongate the clusters
• Dipping of clusters in 60ppm GA3 increases berry size
• Treating clusters with AVG (2 Aminoethyl Vinyl Glycine) 50-300 ppm 1-3 weeks before
anthesis improves berry set
• GA3 (40ppm) used for improving yield and quality.
• Ethrel (250ppm) can be used for uniform colour development (5 weeks after anthesis, 4
weeks after berry set for colour)
• For production of one gram of grape fruit 16-26 cm2 leaf area is requires
• Uniform ripening – ethrel @ 250 to500 ppm at berry starts ripening
56. Physiological Disorders
1. Blossom End Rot (BER)- due to Calcium deficiency –CaNo3 @ 1%
2. Uneven ripening – Bangalore Blue, Beauty Seedless are susceptible variety – Ethephon @ 250 ppm at colour break
stage
3. Post harvest berry drop – Anab –e- shahi, Beauty Seedless are susceptible variety- NAA @ 50 ppm
4. Interveinal chlorosis: Mn, Zn or Fe deficiency-0.2%
5. Stalk necrosis: Calcium deficiency
6. Bud, flower and berry drop: girdling 10 days before full bloom, 500PPM ethrel at ripening, NAA 100PPM at 10
days before ripening, Reducing irrigation during bloom, Benzyl adenine 200ppm, 4-CPA 20ppm-for thinning
7. Bud killing: Excessive nitrogen
8. Hen & Chicken - Only a few seeded berries set, most berries remain small and seedless - Due to boron deficiency
• Fe deficiency of grapes is most common in black soil
• Major nutrient deficiency in grapes growing area in world : Mg
60. Pests and diseases
Pests
1. Flea beetles- Spraying Phosalone 35 EC (2ml/lit of water)
2. Thrips- spray Methyl demeton 25 EC or Dimethoate 30 EC @ 2 ml/lit
3. Chaffer beetle- dusting any insectide in evenings
4. Mealy bugs- Quinalphos or Methyl parathion dust in the soil @ 20 kg/ha
5. Stem girdler - Swab the trunk with Carbaryl 50 WP @ 2 gm/lit to control the pest.
6. Nematodes- Use nematode resistant root stocks - Carbofuran 3 G or Phorate 10 G granules per vine
Diseases
1. Anthracnose: Spray 1 % Bordeaux mixture or any other copper fungicide at 0.25 % concentration
2. Downy mildew: Spray 1 % Bordeaux mixture or any other copper fungicide at 0.25 % concentration
3. Powdery mildew: Spray 0.3% Wettable sulphur or dust Sulphur @ 6-12 Kg/ha
61. Colour and ripening enhancers
• Spraying of ethephon (an ethylene releasing compound – 2-chloroethyl phosphonic
acid) at a concentration of 400 mg/L at colour break stage has been established as
a routine cultural practice among viticulturists to hasten maturity and to get
uniform bunch colour - reduces fruit firmness
• Grape growing countries use abscisic acid (ABA) as an alternative to ethephon to
advance berry maturity and to promote uniform colouration, especially in red
table grapes.
62. Harvesting
• Grape is a non climacteric fruit and has to be harvested at correct stage of
maturity
• Degree days from full bloom give a correct indication of maturity
• Early cultivars require about 1600-2000 degree days and late cultivars about
3000 or more
• A cluster having under developed seedless berries known as ―shot barriers or
mummies
• These will be very sweet in taste
• Grape starts yielding from 2-3 years and continues for more than 20-25 years
63. Seedless : 15 t/ha/year
Muscat : 30 t/ha/year
Pachadraksha : 40 t/ha/year
Anab-e-Shahi and Arka hybrids : 20 t/ha/year
Yield
Average yield will be about 25-30 tonnes/ha but higher yields of 60-75
ton/ha also possible with good management
64. Packing and storage
• Grapes are packed in corrugated fibre board boxes having grape guard (craft
paper coated within layer of sodium bi-sulphate and a plastic polymer) improve
their storage life.
• Grapes can be stored grape guard or for 7-12 weeks under controlled atmosphere
with 15-25% Co2 and at 0-10C
Grape guard
65. Packaging in corrugated fibre board boxes with
polyethylene liner and a grape guard
Clusters packed in corrugated fibre
board (CFB) boxes of 4 kg
capacity for transportation to
distant markets
Pad contains sodium
metabisulphite as the active
ingredient
Sodium metabisulphite in the pads
reacts with available moisture to
release Sulfur dioxide gas.
This gas then protects the grapes
from fungal infection
